Monroe Avenue on a Thursday night has a specific energy — and The Bug Jar captures it better than just about anywhere else in Rochester. Tonight, DUUNES comes in from New York City with Reddy Hollow along for the ride, and if you have been sleeping on this bill, it’s worth catching.
About DUUNES
DUUNES is the project of Harrison Cohen, an NYC-based artist who has been building real momentum in the alternative rock space. His cover of “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” has pulled in more than a reported 25 million views across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram (per tour publicity) — the kind of organic reach that turns a name people half-recognize into a room where everyone knows the words. Cohen followed that viral moment with his debut EP Vacation From Myself in 2024, and has since played the Bowery Ballroom and sold out shows in both New York City and Boston. Rochester is a smart stop on that trajectory.
Opening the night is Reddy Hollow, rounding out what should be a tight double bill worth arriving early for.
About The Bug Jar
The Bug Jar sits on the Monroe Avenue strip in Rochester — walkable, lively, and exactly the kind of neighborhood that makes a night out feel like more than just a show. The room holds around 150 people, which is that sweet spot where the sound actually wraps around you and you are close enough to the stage to feel every dynamic shift. It is a longtime fixture of the Western New York music scene, the kind of room where the bartenders know the regulars and the regulars know the bands. Get there close to doors — a 150-person cap fills faster than you expect when the name on the flyer has 25 million views behind it.

Advance tickets are $13, with $15 at the door. Age policy to know before you go: 21+ if you are paying at the door. If you are between 18 and 20, you need an advance ticket — that is your entry. Doors open at 8 p.m.
